Thus, modders cannot assert ownership over their work and cannot legally profit without infringing the game owner's copyright.

Why are my skyrim mods not working?

Is film protected by copyright?
Motion pictures are typically embodied in film, videotape, or videodisk. Copyright in a motion picture is automatically secured when the work is created and “fixed” in a copy. Only the expression fixed in a motion picture (camera work, dialogue, sounds, and so on) is protected under copyright.

Can game mods be copyrighted?
Copyright laws
At their core, game mods are derivative works. A modification needs to run on the original work in order for the mod itself to work. As a game modder, you own some limited copyrights in what you created but what you created is likely copyright infringement.
